Pearl Jam : Gigaton

1. WHO EVER SAID

Drowning in their dissertations
Random speakers in my mind
Yeah, they never stop their fortifications
And blocking my precious time

You used to let it go and let it float away
You don't get to speak with twice as much to say

It's all in the delivery
I said the messenger who is now dead
Was all on the periphery
I didn't see him but I heard what he said

Aw, sideways talk, poisoning our thoughts
Everyone walks and it's no one's fault

Whoever said it's all been said
Gave up on satisfaction
Whoever said it's all been said
Gave up on satisfaction
Whoever said it's all been said
Gave up on satisfaction

Whoever said it's all been said
Gave up on satisfaction
Whoever said it's all been said
Gave up on satisfaction
Whoever said it's all been said
Gave up on satisfaction

Home is where... the broken heart is
Home is where... every scar is

Blinking stars, beneath you roam
Room to tomb and cradle to grave
All the answers will be found
In the mistakes that we have made

One bad ear and one eye blind
It takes a village but don't take mine
Living forwards in a backwards town
I feed 'em drinks just to watch 'em drown

Swallow my pencil and bleed out my pen
Surrender the wish we'll be together again
But I won't give up... no, I won't give up
On satisfaction... satisfaction

Gave up on satisfaction

Pull myself aside on a sleepless night
Sadness blurs, I'm in need of a light
Out of balance, balance, balance this time
I'm feeling fading, calling as I'm falling out of sight

As the silence gets louder my heart gets pounding
And ventricles pumping, working overtime
Our freedoms fraught with danger being circumscribed
A life cut short and circumcised

A rubble of commandments from the road, step aside
A rubble of commandments in the road, step aside

Whoever said it's all been said
Gave up on satisfaction
Whoever said it's all been said
Gave up on satisfaction
Whoever said it's all been said
Gave up on satisfaction
Satisfaction


2. SUPERBLOOD WOLFMOON

Superblood wolfmoon
Took her away too soon
Superblood wolfmoon
Took her away too soon

I can hear you
Singin' in the distance
I can see you when I close my eyes
Once, you were somewhere
And now you're everywhere
I'm feelin' selfish and I want what's right
I ask for forgiveness
I beg of myself
Feelin' angry, knock it off the shelf

Right now I feel
A lack of innocence searchin' for reveal
Hypnotonic resonance, I feel
Not much of anything
And the cause is life or death

Don't allow for hopelessness
Focus on your focusness
I've been hopin' that our hope does last
I don't know anything
I question everything
This life I love is goin' way too fast
Both my hands are swollen
My face is broken
And I'm hopin' that I hurt your
Hopin' that I hurt your
Hopin' that I hurt your fist

She was a stunner and I am stunned
And the first thought and second thought was "could be the one"
I was a prisoner, her keys and her cuffs
Yeah, I was feelin' fortunate to be locked up
But the world kept on spinnin'
Always felt like it was endin'
And love notwithstandin'
We are each of us fucked

I'm in danger
Singin' in the distance
I can see you when I close my eyes
Once, you were somewhere
And now you're everywhere
I'm feelin' selfish and I want what's right
I ask for forgiveness
I beg of myself
Feelin' angry, knock it off the shelf

Superblood wolfmoon
Took her away too soon
Superblood wolfmoon
Took her away too soon
Superblood wolfmoon
Took her away too soon

I can hear you
Singin' in the distance
I can see you when I close my eyes
Once, you were somewhere
And now you're everywhere
I'm feelin' selfish and I want what's right
Focus on your focusness
Don't allow for hopelessness
I've been hopin' that our hope does last
I don't know anything
I question everything
This life I love is goin' way too fast


3. DANCE OF THE CLAIRVOYANTS

Confusion is to commotion
What love is to our devotion
Imperceptibly big, big as the ocean
And equally hard to control

So save your predictions and burn your assumptions
Love is friction, ripe for comfort
Endless equations and tugging persuasions
Doors open up to interpretation

Expecting perfection leaves a lot to ignore
When the past is the present and the future's no more
When every tomorrow is the same as before

The looser things get, the tighter you become
The looser things get, tighter
Not one man can be greater than the sum
It's not a negative thought, I'm positive
Positive, positive
Falling down, not staying down
Coulda held me up, rather tear me down
Drown in the river

Expecting perfection leaves a lot to endure
When the past is the present and the future's no more
When every tomorrow is the same as before

Numbers keep falling off the calendar's floor
We're stuck in our boxes, windows open no more
Collecting up the forget-me-nots, not recalling what they're for
I'm in love with clairvoyants 'cause they're out of this world

I know the girls wanna dance
Away their circumstance
I know the boys wanna grow
Their dicks and fix and fire things
I know the girls wanna dance
Clairvoyants in a trance
I know the boys wanna grow
Their dicks and fix and fire things

Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back

[In the background:]
Took my love to have and to hold
Held me down in the river

Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back

[In the background:]
Took my love to have and to hold
Drowning in the river

Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back

I know the girls wanna dance
Away their circumstance
I know the boys wanna grow
Their dicks and fix and fire things

I know the girls wanna dance
Clairvoyants in a trance
I know the boys wanna grow
Their dicks and fix and fire things
Their dicks and fix and fire things

Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes


4. QUICK ESCAPE

Reconnaissance on the corner
In the old world, not so far
First we took an aeroplane
Then a boat to Zanzibar

Queen cranking on the blaster
And Mercury did rise
Came along where we all belonged
You were yours and I was mine

Yeah, yeah

(Had to) Quick escape
(Had to) Quick escape
(Had to) Quick escape
(Had)

Crossed the border to Morocco
Kashmir to Marrakech
The lengths we had to go to then
To find a place Trump hadn't fucked up yet

Living life on the back porch
Lifting rocks to make a wage
Every sunset paid attention to
Not a starry night went to waste

(Had to) Quick escape
(Had to) Quick escape
(Had to) Quick escape

And here we are, the red planet
Craters across the skyline
A sleep sack in a bivouac
And a Kerouac sense of time

Oh, and we think about the old days
Of green grass, sky and red wine
Should've known, so fragile
And avoided this one-way flight

(Had to) Quick escape
(Had to) Quick escape
(Had to) Quick escape
(Had to)


5. ALRIGHT

You can't hide the lies
In the rings of a tree
If your heart still beats free
Keep it for yourself

When you want to run
And leave some part unrevealed
Like the flight of the bee
Keep it for yourself

It's alright, to be alone
To listen for a heartbeat, it's your own
It's alright, to quiet up
To disappear in thin air, it's your own

Should your living truth die
Could be an acid trip
Leave the Eucharist whole
Keep it for yourself

If you tire of the game
Hit the road towards the clouds
Find your groove in the sound
Keep it for yourself

It's alright, to say no
Be a disappointment in your own home
It's alright to turn it off
Ignore the rules of the state, it's your own

It's alright, to shut it down
Disappear in thin air, it's your home
It's alright, to be alone
To listen for a heartbeat, it's your own

You can't hide your eyes...


6. SEVEN O'CLOCK

7 o'clock in the morning, got a message from afar
Down under an oasis where there are dreams still being born
And summer spoke to winter relaying all encouraging words
And I was fully grateful mutant messages were heard

Moved on from my despondency and left it in the bed
Do I leave it there still sleeping or maybe kill it better yet
For this is no time for depression or self-indulgent hesitance
This fucked-up situation calls for all hands, hands on deck

Freedom is as freedom does and freedom is a verb
They giveth and they taketh and you fight to keep that what you've earned
We saw the destination, got so close before it turned
Swim sideways from this undertow and do not be deterred

Floodlight dreams go drifting past
All the lines we could've had
Distant loves floating above
Close these eyes, they've seen enough

Caught the butterfly, broke its wings then put it on display
Oh, stripped of all its beauty once it could not fly high away
Oh, still alive like a passer-by overdosed on gamma rays
Another God's creation destined to be thrown away

Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse they forged the north and west
And you got Sitting Bullshit as our sitting president
Oh, talking to his mirror, what's he say, what's it say back?
A tragedy of errors, who'll be the last to have a laugh?

His best days gone, hard to admit
Throwing angry punches with nothing to hit
Luminous thoughts were once all he had
Fading lights, lost eloquence
There's still a fire in the engine room
Knows relief will be coming soon

What's to be done?
Carve a path for Rivers reign
Much to be done
Oceans rising with the waves

Oh, held by these thoughts
They refuse to slip away
Oh, hangman in dreamland
About to call your name

Much to be done... Much to be...
Much to be done... Much to be...
Much to be done... Much to be...
Much to be done...


7. NEVER DESTINATION

Blisters on my fingers, blisters on my brain
Blisters on the voices, crazy makes insane
There's an angry sea, an ocean in my eyes
The waves are rolling, I'm becoming blind

I won't be taken, won't take myself
Kicking and screaming, have to knock me off the shelf
Feels like illusion, is this taking place?
Disease of confusion, stripped of our grace

Don't wanna believe it, these endless miles
Never destination, just more denial
More denial!

Some resolution, some justice tied
To this collusion hiding in plain sight
Say see-ya later, never say goodbye
This is a little trick I play on my own mind

I am a recluse in search of new friends
How they gonna find me? That's where the road ends
Off in the distance, leviathans
50 foot and breaking on our innocence

Don't wanna believe it, these endless miles
Never destination, just more denial
More denial!

I can't believe it, these endless lies
Never destination, just more denial
More denial

When you make the drop, the gaping maw
When you make the drop, the gaping maw
Keeps us alive, should we survive
When you make the drop, the gaping maw
Keeps us alive, should we survive
When you make the drop, the gaping maw

Thank you Bob Honey, thanks Paul Theroux
If I ever did, to this place let me go
Off in the distance, leviathans
50 foot and breaking on my innocence

I won't be taken, won't take myself
Kicking and screaming, have to knock my off the shelf
Say see-ya later, never say goodbye
This is a little trick I play on my own mind

Don't wanna believe it, these endless miles
Never destination, just more denial

She was a singer in a rock-n-roll band
Had command of all her voices
Turned herself into a hologram
It all came down to choices

So I say til then, never say goodbye
A little trick I play, on my mind


8. TAKE THE LONG WAY

You got me through those feelings
That separates me from you

I put myself through a beating
I need you to pull me through

I'll break through these feelings
I'll break through the ceiling

I always take the long way, the long way
I always take the long way, that leads me back to you
I always take the long way, the long way
I always take the long way, that leads me back to you

Now's the time to resurface
Take back me and you

The hammer will fall on purpose
Our time, our truth

I'll break through these feelings
I'll break through the ceiling

I always take the long way, the long way
I always take the long way, that leads me back to you
I always take the long way, the long way
I always take the long way, that leads me back to you

Plant a seed in your mind... what's yours is mine
Show me how to live divine... what's yours is mine
Back to a moment in your mind... go back in time
Show me how to live divine... what's yours is mine


9. BUCKLE UP

I got blood
Blood on my hands
The stain of
Of a human

I finally awoke
To my mother's wrath
Call lights
Bed sores and sponge baths

Firstly do no harm
Then put your seat-belt on

Buckle up
Buckle up

The drapes pull back
Reveal her wound
Her boy on her lap
A murderer groomed

Antiquities lost
Lost to the Nile
A sudden slip
A fall on the time

Firstly do no harm
Then put your seat-belt on

Buckle up
Buckle up
Buckle up
Buckle up


10. COMES THEN GOES

High or low, where'd you go
Are you stuck in the middle?
A spectral invisible ghost
I'm here juxtaposed
Like images of angels in the snow
Our courage melts away, it comes then goes

Where you been? Can I find
A glimpse of my friend
Don't know where or when one of us left
The other behind
Divisions came and troubles multiplied
Incisions made by scalpel blades of time

Comes then goes... Comes then goes

Can I say, how ya been?
I can guess and conjecture
My altered perceptions unclear
Please interfere
Sadness comes with it a sea of tears
Would some love be best had it not appeared?

Is this you? Here I stand
Intense recollections of pain, self-neglecting again
Like you, I keep it in
Thought you found a game where you could win
Yeah, it's all vivisection in the end

Comes then goes... Comes then goes... Comes then goes

High or low, try again
She fell off the altar
A vision you caught of her but then
A woodcut in red
Wish it was not you that she had led
Selfish navigation with no end

Where'd you sleep? Can I find
A deeper connection
In the face of rejection I'm trying
I'm trying
Evidence in the echoes of your mind
Leads me to believe we missed the signs

Can I try, one last time?
Could all use a savior from human behavior sometimes
And the kids are alright
The Queen of Collections took your time
Sadness comes 'cause some of it was mine

Comes then goes... Comes then goes
Comes then goes... Comes then goes


11. RETROGRADE

Comes the summer rain
A' cue the lightning and far off thunder again
Projecting through the clouds
In meditations, lifting out in the sound

The more mistakes, the more resolve
It's gonna take much more than ordinary love
To lift this up

Stars align they say when
Things are better than right now
Feel the retrograde spin us round, round
Seven seas are raising
Forever futures fading out
Feel the retrograde all around, round

Accelerate the change
Feeling equal and opposite all the same
Momentum rearranged
Shout - the echo returning back, but now changed

The rusted shapes refuse to fall
It's gonna take much more than ordinary love
To lift this up

Stars align they say when
Times are better than right now
Feel the retrograde spin us round, round
Seven seas are raising
Forever futures fading out
Feel the retrograde all around, round

Hear the sound
In the distance, now
Could be thunder
Or a crowd
...


12. RIVER CROSS

I always thought I'd cross that river
The other side, distant now
As I got close it turned and widened
Horizon now, fading out

Drifting off in the undertow
Can't spot a figure on dry land
And afterthoughts of safety
When in truth, none to be had
None to be had

I used to tell time by my shadow
Til the thunderclouds, they took the stage
These days will end as do the light's rays
Another read of the same page

Wide awake through this deepest night
Still waiting on the sun
As the hours seem to multiply
Find a star to soldier on
Living beneath a lion's paw
Knowing nothing can be tamed
Can be tamed

I want this dream to last forever
A wish denied to lengthen our time
I wish this moment was never ending
Let it be a lie that all future's die

While the government thrives on discontent
And there's no such thing as clear
Proselytizing and profitizing
As our will all but just disappears
Folded over, forced in a choke hold
Outnumbered and held down
And all this talk of rapture
Look around at the promise now

Here and now
Here and now
Can't hold me down
Can't hold me down

Won't hold us down
Won't hold us down

Live it out
Let it out
Get it out
Shout it out
Won't hold us down
Won't hold us down

Share the light
Won't hold us down
